4. Use of Web Beacons or GIF files
SB&C, LTD's web pages may contain electronic images known as Web
beacons Ð sometimes also called single-pixel gifs Ð that allow SB&C,
LTD to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded
services. SB&C, LTD may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail
messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have
been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers
to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or
email communications. These Web beacons may be used by these service
providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows
the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit
certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation
to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers
to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and
how you use the site. SB&C, LTD prohibits Web beacons from being
used to collect or access your personal information.
